Most notably, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan for the whole County has been added for 2012 due to some of the ongoing discussion around recreation and the increased interest in initiating this plan. It was originally scheduled for development in 2013. The Town of Blackfalds/Lacombe County IDP has also been added to the Program for 2013.
